The whole thing could be considered an "allmodconfig" bug. In this case, "select" is working as expected on IA64 and automatically sets IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR when MSPEC is selected. Perhaps the right fix would be modifying allmodconfig so that it takes into account dependecies (i.e. "depends on", "select", etc). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
